A ray of light undergoes deviation of 30...

A ray of light undergoes deviation of `30^@` when incident on an equilateral prism of refractive index `sqrt2.` what is the angle subtended by the ray inside the prism with the base of the prism?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

From `mu=((sinA+delta_m)/2)//sin(A//2)`
We can see that given deviation is the minimum
deviation.

At minimum deviation, MN is parallel to BC is `angleB=angleC.`
